NCDIT's test management tools include OpenText Application Lifecycle Management Quality Center and ALM Octane, which provide all the key elements of test management within a software development lifecycle.
OpenText ALM is designed to manage the various phases of the software development life cycle from managing releases, cycles, requirements, test cases and test execution to defects.
ALM increases predictability and creates a framework to manage projects from a central repository. It enables visibility of the project status to all, including stakeholders and reduces the risk associated with managing project artifacts related to various phases.
